2006 Chevrolet SSR 3SS – 6.0-Liter V8, 6-Speed Manual, Smokin’ Asphalt, 41,000 Miles, Two Owners

Overview
Presented here is a 2006 Chevrolet SSR equipped with the desirable 3SS Preferred Equipment Group, the 6.0-liter V8, and a six-speed manual transmission. Showing 41,000 miles and just two owners, it blends retro truck styling with modern performance and comfort, making it one of the most sought-after configurations of the final-model-year SSR.

Exterior
Finished in Smokin’ Asphalt, this SSR presents a stealthy, modern take on the retro roadster pickup theme. The factory power-folding hardtop transforms it from a closed coupe to an open-air cruiser at the touch of a button, while staggered 20″ and 22″ Vision wheels give it a more aggressive stance without overwhelming the original design. Wood cargo floor rub strips and integrated side-saddle cargo area storage add both visual interest and real-world practicality in the bed.

Engine & Performance
Under the hood is a 6.0-liter V8 delivering strong, responsive power, especially when paired with the six-speed manual gearbox. A Flowmaster exhaust system enhances the soundtrack, giving the SSR a deeper, more assertive tone that matches its performance personality, while still remaining comfortable for extended drives.

Chassis, Suspension & Driving Dynamics
This SSR is fitted with a sport suspension that sharpens handling and reduces body roll compared with standard trucks, making it feel more like a performance GT than a traditional pickup. The combination of powerful brakes, modern chassis tuning, and the 6-speed manual allows the driver to make full use of the V8’s output on backroads, highways, or on-ramps.

Interior & Equipment
Inside, heated power-adjustable twin bucket seats provide comfort and support, with the 3SS Preferred Equipment Group adding a higher level of trim and convenience. Remote keyless entry, cruise control, and air conditioning make everyday use easy, while the cabin’s layout keeps controls close at hand and emphasizes the SSR’s dual role as both cruiser and modern classic.

History & Condition
With 41,000 miles and two owners, this Smokin’ Asphalt SSR has been driven enough to stay healthy but clearly cared for. The blend of tasteful exterior enhancements, performance exhaust, and factory 3SS equipment makes it a turn-key example for the next enthusiast seeking a rare, well-specified, manual-transmission SSR.
